AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE SHEAR PERFORMANCE OF REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMNS USING F sub(c)150N/mm super(2) CLASS CONCRETE

Numerous reinforced concrete super high-rise buildings have recently been constructed. In order to build even higher buildings and simultaneously minimize the cross section of columns and increase the span, reinforced concrete columns using F sub(c)150N/mm super(2) super high strength concrete are being developed. No adequate studies have, however, yet been made of the structural performance of reinforced concrete columns against shear failure. In this study, three types of F sub(c)150N/mm super(2) reinforced concrete columns that were reinforced conventionally, with steel fiber and plate jacketing were subjected to static loading to identify structural performance and evaluate shear strength.
